This two-part book, featuring 52 illustrations, explores minimal surfaces. Part 1 explores these surfaces from an artistic perspective, while Part 2 presents the equations as beautiful expressions of pure geometry. Each volume includes notes from an informal work-in-progress diary and references that guide readers to the original mathematical sources of the images. Together, they help us appreciate the unique forms found in our environment—from butterflies to black holes—that are studied in fields like statistics, materials science, and architecture, but are seldom studied in art.
